    Mixed experience. Food was surprisingly good. Definitely not cheap but we expected to pay higher prices. Ambience and atmosphere were perfect for our 10 year old’s birthday. Service was unfortunately lacking. Drinks - even bottled beer - took 25 minutes. Our server literally abandoned us at the end - we waited 49 minutes with uncleared plates and had to walk into the kitchen to find someone to ask for a check. Apparently the server had some sort of “emotional issues” and had left during the shift - yet no one picked up our table. So weird.

    We didn't have the best experience today. Took forever to get our food. Server spilled a drink all over me. Manager never once came out to apologize or say anything at all, makes me think the server tried to hide it. Ordered the lettuce wraps appetizer and the lettuce wrap part was basically shreds of lettuce. I made mention to our server of my allergy to onions, I ordered the cheese sticks and they were Luke warm at best and piled on top of fried onion straws. My son has a tree nut allergy and made server aware of that, we ordered an oreo shake drink, he said he would have his manager check and come talk to us about it. Never once did mgmt come out but the drinks did. And the shakes had ice chunks at the bottom and blended poorly. And for a $180 bill at the end of the day this was totally not worth the trip. Very very disappointed and would not recommend and will not be coming back. Oh and no one did anything about the kids crawling around on the floor like it was a daycare. Such a shame cuz this used to be a decent place but has gone down hill for 30yrs

    We had a faulty gorilla by our table that was SO loud and clicking and making noises that were not normal! We sat up near the bar. The service (our server) was incredible! The food was just fine. :) We always just going to rainforest cafe!
